How to Make an API-Based Random Person Generator

In this walkthrough, we'll learn how to build a Random Person Spice Instant Answer. It uses the API provided by Random.me. You can find the code on Github to follow along.

We've done it as a screencast about for those who enjoy learning from video tutorials.

Set Up Your Development Environment

To follow along with this screencast, we'll first need to set up our development environment. There are three main steps:

1. Fork the Spice repository on Github.com. (How?)
2. Set up the DuckDuckHack environment on Codio.com (How?)
3. Clone your Github fork onto the Codio environment. (How?)

If this is your first time developing an Instant Answer, check out our detailed, step-by-step guide to getting your development environment set up.
